CRUISE SHIP AND YACHT ACCIDENTS

Accident Attorney J.P. Gonzalez-Sirgo Represents Victims of Personal Injuries and Accidents That Have Suffered Serious Injuries or Wrongful Death In Miami and Throughout Florida. We Have Recovered Millions of Dollars For Our Clients. Let Us Help You Too.

Planning a cruise vacation can be fun and exciting. Millions of people around the world buy a cruise ship ticket on a yearly basis. Billions of dollars are spent by these same passengers. You've got dancing, alcohol, fine dining, late night parties, gambling, island site seeing tours, beautiful islands with sandy beaches and so much more! Unfortunately, as recent FBI crime statistics and headline news show, cruising is increasingly becoming a little more dangerous than previously thought. To many people's surprise, the cruise line industry is self regulated and with little oversight. Being a passenger on a yacht or privately owned vessel is no different.

When injuries do happen, passengers may not receive proper medical care on the ship due to inadequate medical staff or facilities. Many times, injured passengers are dumped at the next port of call in hopes of receiving required medical care at a local hospital. Many times, these local hospitals have untrained medical staff and inadequate medical equipment which may aggravate the injuries.

Unfortunately, the time frame an injured passenger or loved one of a wrongful death victim has to act to file a claim is short. The statue of limitations to file suit is only one year. Therefore, time is of the essence.

Furthermore, many cruise lines require that any lawsuit be brought in either federal or state court in Miami, Florida only. Please check the back of your cruise line ticket for further information regarding this requirement.
